        As a kid, I was really confused about how a ‘microwave’ power plant (SimCity 2K) could turn microwaves into energy. I mean, they use energy, so like, do they produce more than they use? Is that how my food is cooked? Why isn’t everyone doing this? We could be generating power and cooking food at the same time! And why is it also a satellite? Can it get satellite TV?! This thing is so multi-purpose it’s unbelievable!

      Yup. It involves the buttons that aren’t start or stop.

      3-2-1 Mug Cake is a thing, and it’s pretty decent. That said, assuming they’re real food at all, none of those three things on the cover ever saw the inside of a microwave, LOL.

        There are many cake recipes for the microwave, it’s actually easier than one might think. And most of them are pretty damned good, if you get the heating to be even. You can even get a good crust with some tricks.

        Once upon a time people got really creative using microwaves to cook food. You’d be amazed at some of the truly delicious stuff you can cook using a microwave.

          Turning the power down and increasing the time is the real secret to microwaving. Keeps the food from hotspotting

      If I can bake a cake using a 60watt lightbulb in an EZ Bake Oven, I can bake one in a microwave. Heat is heat.

    Microwaving can get pretty complex, the reason most microwaved food tastes like shit is because people think you can just toss it in and start cooking, even though that works with literally nothing else.

      I’ve had people look at me like I have two heads because I reheated my meal on half power. Yeah, a lot of people don’t know wtf they’re doing.

    It was that era when so many book covers had a design sensibility that implied everyone must be tripping.
